The 6 Types of Working Genius

New York Times bestselling author Patrick Lencioni provides a groundbreaking new model for finding joy in work, avoiding misery and frustration, getting more done, and working better with others.

The 6 Types of Working Genius details a simple and lightning-fast way to discover and use your natural, God-given talents.
As he does in his other bestselling books, including The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Patrick Lencioni uses a page-turning fable with a cast of realistic and relatable characters to showcase the central principles of his revolutionary model.

He tells the story of Bull Brooks, an entrepreneur, husband, and father who is puzzled by his own misery at work, which not only threatens the happiness of the people in his company but in his marriage and family, too.

Brooks’s story illustrates that we all have areas where we thrive, areas where we struggle, and areas that fall somewhere in between. Discerning where our genius, competency, and frustrations lie is a powerful step on any journey toward success.

Unlike other tools and assessments, The 6 Types of Working Genius model can be applied quickly and to every kind of work in life—from running a company or launching a product, to managing a family or planning a vacation—with immediate results.

Uncover your particular genius to find more joy in every type of work you do and accept your natural limitations in order to rid your life of unnecessary guilt, judgment, and frustration.
